Burned Is The House Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
It's like [G]we
both have just arrived here
Like we've just stepped off
a plane in [C]a new town
and the sun was [Am]out.
[C]I was t[G]alking,
you would point your ear at me
like I was making [C]some sweet sound
you said, "make it loud"

[Verse 2]
But we can [Am]never come back here again
we can [C]only hope...
to forget.
[G]

[Verse 3]
Walked through a cemetery archway
into a wood that hung so hap[C]pily alone
but the words were all wrong.
You traded [G]all my ill affections
for directions to a party [C]across town.
You bring the house down.

[Verse 4]
But we can [Am]never go back there again
we can [C]only hope.

[Verse 5]
So...
[G]Burned is the house.
[C]Gone is the street.
[Em]Here is the same disap[D]pointing retreat.
And I [Em]need it like [G]hell if I'd [C]lie to myself
to [Em]think I could [G]live that life [C]over again.
Where the [G]cuts were like guilt
and the [C]taste for your eyes
I say, [Em]"we're up when I
couldn't [D]just say goodnight"
If you [Em]cry me a [G]river you can [C]baptize me in
I say, [Em]"I guess that's i[G]t,
now I've [C]fucking seen [D]everything"
[G]Woah's

[Verse 6]
You [C]were the [G]first real choice I would [Em]make,
but we [D]all make mis[C]takes, [D]so...
[G][C]

[Verse 7]
Jumped over[G]board because
the water's always greener
when the sun shines on the [C]sea
Would you drown [Am]for me?
It's just as [G]deep as you can make it
you tread water when you could
stand on your [C]knees
but don't pray [Am]to me.
[C]Cause when the lam[Am]p ray's taken all it can
it will [C]keep you dead.

[Verse 8]
But but,
[G]Burned is the house.
[C]Gone is the street.
[Em]Here is the same disap[D]pointing retreat.
And I [Em]need it like [G]hell if I'd [C]lie to myself
to [Em]think I could [G]live that life [C]over again.
Where [G]the cuts were like guilt
and the [C]taste for your eyes
I say, [Em]"we're up when I couldn't
[D]just say goodnight"
If you [Em]cry me a [G]river you can [C]baptize me in
I say, [Em]"I guess that's i[G]t, yeah,
I've [C]fucking seen [D]everything [G]now"

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 9]
[G]Woah's
[C]You were the fir[G]st real
choice [Em]I would make,
You were [D]the only one that I [C]would take
Now [D]you'll take til [G]I go.
[C]

[Verse 10]
You were [G]the first real choice [Em]I would make,
but [D]we all make mis[C]takes,
so...
